Access to Energy

LPG is a fuel that is available in even the remotest of areas, improving the lives of millions of citizens worldwide and providing a further impetus to regional development.

As a low-carbon, low-polluting fuel, LPG is recognised by governments around the world for the contribution it can make towards improved indoor and outdoor air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

LPG is a proven solution to one of the most pressing problems, facing and ever more urbanised world: air pollution. Whether in the streets of Shanghai, Lagos, London or Bogota, deteriorating air quality has a serious and global impact on our health.

The global health community has largely overlooked the health burden associated with indoor air pollution. In 2000, 1.6 million avoidable deaths were attributed to indoor air pollution; by 2009 that number increased to two million Switching to LPG can make mark end and to this tragedy .

The switch from traditional biomass, such as wood or dung, to LPG can have a profound impact on society, especially on lives of lower income families. Be it through improved health, efficient cooking or replacing the time spent collecting firewood by more productive activities.

LPG can contribute to resource savings at a global scale and play a significant role in curbing deforestation. Switching from petrol, diesel, coal or fuel oil will help save resources but the most important contribution in terms of resource efficiency would be its proven role in reducing deforestation.
